KESKA: “How can Nana stand to look at Jessie, if she was responsible for getting Papa killed?” Liam says. “We don’t know that for sure Liam.” I tell him. “I don’t think Jessie remembers, and Nana doesn’t talk about it. It’s got to be hard for her he was her mate, some people are surprised she is still with us, a lot of times when a wolf loses their mate it’s hard for them to continue to keep on living, I for one am very grateful for Nana, she has helped me more than anyone else.” I tell him. “It’s late, time for lights out.” I say quietly. He just nods. I turn out the light and go lie down next to Trever. he just wraps his arms around me, and I fall asleep almost instantly.
JANICA: “What is a camp sleepover?” I asked James. “It’s a co-ed group of people sleeping together as a group, around a campfire. So that everyone gets the heat of the fire, no tents, just sleeping bags and the fire. We did a summer in a human camp once, and we went for a hike out in the forest and stayed the night, our camp guide built a rather large fire, He dug a pit about 2’ across and a foot deep, put stones around the outer rim of it and then we all had to partner up and go find fallen wood and sticks that we used for the fire.” He tells me. “That sounds like fun.” I say. “Maybe we can do that with the kids in the orphanage, and the younger pups.” I say to him, “It can help teach them some survival skills, if they ever get caught out in a storm.” I say. “Yes, it is something to think about incorporating into training.” He says. “But come, it’s late, and I’m tired.” I hold out my hand to him to go in and up to bed.
JESSIE: 5:30, and the guards are here to get us up to start our cleaning. I take the coveralls and the gloves and get to work on the torture cells. I use bleach and a pine cleaner to scrub every nook and cranny of all four walls and the floor. It smells horrendous, but when I get done cleaning, I can at least breathe without gagging. I wait for the inspection. Then once that was done, I was escorted up to my room and left to clean up and get ready for the day. I hurry through my shower as I want to get to the kitchen to get that smoothie made and to make sure that it’s ready for when Kes comes down for breakfast. I get the bullet blender out and put some ice in it and the other ingredients that I prepped last night and through it all in the blender and pulse it until it’s all broke down and then I blend it up nice and smooth, I pour it in a glass over more ice add a couple strawberry slices to the top as garnish and wait till I see Kes and the rest of them come down. I put a note on the smoothie with Keska’s name on it. And I head out to the marquee to get my breakfast and start the day.
KESKA: I am up at my usual time of 7:30. I head to the bathroom, take a quick shower, and get dressed. When I came out, I noticed Mackie was up, I signed to her (your turn.) so as not to wake the guys. When Mackie is done, Trever and Dutch are both awake. They, too, take turns using the bathroom and shower, by the time they are done, Liam still has not woken up. I gently shake his shoulder to get him up. Once he is up, I get the guys to help put my room back to rights, and we go directly to the pack dining hall, get a plate, and get in line to get breakfast. I get to the beverage station, and one of the omegas hands me a smoothie. “What’s this?” I asked, “I believe it’s a smoothie, it was in the kitchen with a note, which had your name on it.” She says. “Thank you.” I take it and go find a table away from the entrance of the marquee. I wait for Mackie to join me. The guys just come and sit with me. “You know you can join your brothers and their mates in the marquee.” I say to them. “We could, but I would rather be with you.” Trever says. I blush at his words; I don’t know if I will ever get used to him flirting with me.
TREVER: I can’t get over the way she blushes; it is so adorable. “What’s this, a smoothie for breakfast?” I asked her, and I stole a spoonful of it. It tasted a little strange to me. “I think something is off in this.” I say to her. I watched as she tasted it. “Not my favorite, not super crazy about figs, but not too bad.” She says. “You can tell what’s in it?” I asked her. “I like most fruits, so I try to pick them out when I have something like this.” She says. “Ok, so what’s in it?” “Strawberries, cherries, figs, cinnamon, and honey in a yogurt base.” She says. I take another spoonful and let it sit in my mouth to try and pick up the fruits she said were in it. I can taste the figs and strawberries right off, but it takes me a bit to get the cherries and honey, but they finally come through. “Not bad, I guess. Did you ask for this, though?” “No, but sometimes Sarah will make me one just because.” She says. “Is it always this?” I asked her. “No this is the first time for this one, but she will mix things up for me to guess what she put in them.” She says. I nod. “So, what are we going to do today?” I asked her. “Well, I want to go see Ailea, and try to get things sorted for her, and go to the range, and practice our aikido, and maybe hit the obstacle course and get a driving lesson.” She says. “What would you be doing if this ball weren’t going on?” I asked her. “Pretty much the same, except for the Ailea thing, and we would probably be working at the restaurant, so that would take up most of the day.” She says. I nod in understanding. “You still haven’t told me what you and Liam were talking about yesterday morning.” I say to her. “I hope you are good at signing because that is the only way I will tell you, as nobody here but us knows how to sign, and what I say will get me into bigger trouble than Jessie is in right now.” She whispers to me. “Well then, let's get whatever you want to get and head out to go see Ailea.” I whisper back to her. She nods her head. When we finished eating, Kes and Mackie stacked our dishes and took them into the kitchen. When they come out, Kes heads to the front hall closet. I notice that she has an insulated bag and a large backpack.
